nucleic acids

except for the lipids everything is made my dehydration reactions

dehydration synthesis-building up of molecules  by releasing water

hydrolysis-break down of molecules by adding water

macromolecule-carbohydrates

components...

major groups

functions

components-carbon, oxygen, hydrogen(CHO)

major groups

monosaccharides

-5 carbons:ribose

-6 carbons:glucose and fructose

disaccharides

-sucrose is glucose and fructose

polysaccharides

-glycogen and cellulose(glucose polymers)

functions:structural support, food source not for us, and storage, glycogen.

macromolecule-lipids

components

simple lipids

components:carbon hydrogen and oxygen

complex lipids

monomer-1 trigylyceride and 1 to 3 fatty acids

proteins

components

building blocks

proteins are made up of carbon, hydrogen oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur

they are built from amino acids
